Wedding Anniversary Celebration – Day 2
I got up on September 27th at 7:00 am, after a good night’s sleep. Bob got up about an hour later. Shortly after 9:00 am we drove to the nearby Confluence Food Market handpicked up a few groceries. Back “home” Bob made us breakfast — scrambled eggs, sausage links and orange juice.
Around 10:00 am we left on a bicycle ride, which you may find details and photographs of by clicking here. This blog post begins where the bicycling blog post ends.
Shortly before 3:00 pm Bob returned to Ohiopyle from Confluence. I met Bob in the Ohiopyle State Park parking lot. Bob loaded my bicycle on the carrier. Then, we walked back to the Ohiopyle Falls overlook for one last look.
Nearby the falls overlook we happened upon a cat.
Tonto
I live in Ohiopyle. I am not a stray.
Tonto is not an ordinary cat. There are many articles on the Internet about Tonto. Click here for one of the articles I found about Tonto.
On our way back “home” from Ohiopyle we visited three sites — Cucumber Falls, Baughman Rock Overlook and Youghiogheny Dam.
We hiked down to Cucumber Falls. Thankfully the hike wasn’t too far, as my knee still hurt from our earlier bicycle ride.
The waterfall was OK, but I was disappointed that the water flow was low.
All we saw from Baughman Rock were trees. The view from there is supposed to be Pennsylvania’s deepest gorge. We didn’t see the gorge; all we saw were trees.
The view was disappointing, after hiking up Baughman Rock’s steep face. That hike was painful for me. My knee complained loudly! The view from Baughman Rock will be beautiful, when the leaves change color. When the trees shed their leaves I believe, then, the gorge will be seen.
Our last stop before returning “home” was at Youghiogheny Dam.
We drove across the dam and back.
with the construction of the 184-foot high, 1,604-foot wide Youghiogheny Dam.
We returned to our Airbnb, the Birdhouse Inn Confluence, around 4:45 pm. We spent rest of the afternoon and evening at ”home” relaxing and allowing my knee time to recuperate.

I read your Post. Very nice. However, I did not know what a Airbnb was until I looked it up. Air Bed & Breakfast. Looked like a great place to sit & relax. Read a good book & take in what Nature shows you. The Fall Foliage around here is no-ware near it’s peak. It will come in the next 2 weeks. Safe travels, Linda & Bob. It’s nice to be retired!
Looks like a beautiful bike ride! I’m sorry your knee was bothering you. We recently bought those ebikes – which are really fun, but to be honest – not as much exercise. Good for you for riding an a classic bike. I hope you enjoyed the evening back at the Air BnB relaxing. The movie was very nicely done, too!
I have had people suggest electric bikes to us. Bicycling is about the only exercise I get. I think I should stick to pedal power.
Hello,
The Ohiopyle Falls photo is wonderful. It is a shame the water level was not higher for the Cucumber Falls, what a name. Tonto is a cutie! I hope your knee is recovering. Take care, have a great day!
Another great day on your anniversary road trip and too bad about the water level being low. Interesting to read about Tonto who is quite the celebrity feline!
